Three reasons why Apple is delaying the iPad other than retina display yield issues:
- The window for shipping the iPad 2 has just become 24 hours. It is unlikely that the hottest selling tablet would need an update in 2 months, especially with production having caught up just now.
- “Non-Apple tablet” has become a term in the tech world. The computing industry is quite a ways away from catching up. Though being on the bleeding edge is in Apple’s DNA, they also won’t rush to make a bad product.
- There are many innovations in tablet computing that have yet to be made — innovations that Apple may take a page from. Yes, Apple is acclaimed for their unique designs, but they are not necessarily original. See iOS for some telling examples.
